Hi all. I had thought of using a NAS type approach but was worried
that the OSX folks would have a harder time with it. Since it seems
that isn't the case, that's probably the route to take. Ideally I'd
like to run this as a piece of software on a Windows machine as the
large hard drive is already available.

The idea behind this is that everyone can upload their data and
everyone else can download it. For the record, this is for photos, not
pirated media.

In any case, I'd like to be able to figure out who uploaded what.
Would a system like this tag who the uploader was? Perhaps even make
them log in? The last time I tried to use Windows built in file
sharing was about 5 years ago and I never got it to work. Is there an
additional SMB software that might make it easier and give me more
configurability (ie logins, home directories, etc)?

I'm searching now but I think I'm having trouble since SMB services
are usually provided by the Windows Server products, which I don't
have.

Thanks!

Josh
